| Beschrijving keerzijde | Cybele, the Phrygian mother goddess, enthroned and seated left upon a high-backed throne, extending her right hand to hold a patera in a gesture of offering, while her left arm rests upon a tympanum (drum). At her feet reclines a lion to the left, the goddess's sacred animal and traditional attribute. The ethnic legend ΑΔΡΙΑΝΕΩΝ appears in the field, identifying the issuing civic authority. The composition closely follows well-established Anatolian provincial types associating the local city with the cult of Cybele. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Hadrianeia was founded — and named — by the emperor himself during his extensive tours of the eastern provinces, part of a broader Hadrianic policy of founding or refounding cities across Asia Minor as demonstrations of imperial patronage. The city's coins, necessarily depicting its namesake, were produced only during his reign, giving the entire civic coinage a hard terminus that makes any example a closed series by definition.
The Conventus of Adramyteum was one of the judicial districts through which Rome administered the province of Asia, and civic mints within it operated with considerable autonomy over local bronze production.
